A Recent Comprehensive Review of The Research Challenges and Opportunities of Automatic Generation

Abstract

The main goal of modern power systems is to balance the power generated at the end of the generation with the demand for power on the consumer side. However, the consumer’s development needs are constantly shifting load demand. Therefore, it is necessary to monitor and meet the load demand continuously. Customers gain from receiving cheaper electricity, more alternatives, and better services as the power system problem approaches the deregulation paradigm. Automatic Generation Con- trol is presented in this thorough literature review (AGC). The current AGC designs for power systems are analyzed and categorized in this study for present-day and foreseeable intelligent power systems. Then, various control techniques- including classic control, optimal control, artificial intelligence control, adaptive and self- tuning control, and other optimization techniques, are discussed for the modeling of AGC in regulated and deregulated environment contexts. Multiple control groups are also created from the proposed AGC control mechanisms and examined. The paper’s conclusion lists numerous new AGC research directions and gaps.
